"Don't look for it!" Midora suddenly shouted loudly.
Angel was stunned for a moment and looked at Midora silently.
Midora seemed to feel that she was overreacting. She closed her eyes and exhaled slowly, and then said: "Since you mentioned the forbidden area of life, you should know that any forbidden area of alchemy cannot be touched easily.
of."
Angel nodded: "...Mother-in-law Nail told me."
Midora was silent for a moment: "I believe Granny Nail will not omit this topic. You should know something about the alchemy restricted area."
At the beginning, Ivo touched the forbidden zone of alchemy and disappeared in front of Granny Nail. He is still sinking to this day.
Therefore, once Granny Nail mentions the forbidden area of alchemy to her descendants, she will definitely not skip it easily.
Now that Granny Nail has told Angel about the dangers of the alchemy restricted area, Midora also understands that there is no point in hiding it. What's more, Angel himself also mentioned the matter of life alchemy, so he obviously guessed what Portia did.
Thinking of this, Midora and Antonio looked at each other and said slowly: "Although Portia has not disclosed any results related to life alchemy, as long as the alchemy restricted area is involved, the precious consumables to be used are most likely outside.
If you can't buy it, you can only exchange it through the magic material library of the R&D Institute."
Antonio also said at this time: "Yes, even if Ms. Portia is more careful and exchanges in batches, the probability of being discovered will at most be delayed."
Everything you do must leave traces.
"From the amount of points she spent and the living supplies she asked people to find, it can be basically determined that she is carrying out life alchemy in secret."
Angel: "Then, does Dean Muse know about this?"
Antonio nodded: "I know, but Dean Muse did not stop Ms. Portia's actions."
Midora sighed: "Although life alchemy is a forbidden area, it is not absolutely prohibited. If there is no prohibition, it can be done."
"Since Portia is still secretly carrying out research on the restricted area at this time, it shows that she is actually entangled in her heart. If we point it out, she might really be like Donla, acting recklessly, and we will become the ones adding fuel to the flames."
"So, we can only deal with Portia's actions coldly."
Both Midora and other members of the R&D Institute who discovered the clue were pretending to be confused at this time.
"Now that you know that Portia is involved in the alchemy of life, I hope you'd better not get involved in this matter." Midora looked at Angel solemnly.
Angel nodded: "I understand."
In fact, when Angel first learned from Regina that Portia was suspected of conducting life alchemy, Angel decided not to get involved in Portia's research.
This is why Portia wanted to see Angel, but Angel decided to meet with Midora and Antonio first before meeting Portia.
Not only to express his attitude, but also to hope that they can give suggestions on how he should respond if Portia continues to ask him to find special magic patterns.
In the past, Angel could be perfunctory, but now, after all, he is asking for Portia. If he continues to be perfunctory, Angel will feel a little embarrassed.
After listening to what Angel said, Midora and Antonio did not immediately help Angel think of a response strategy. Instead, they showed strange expressions.
Midora: "Didn't you say before that the magic pattern Portia consulted about was very rare and could not be found? Why do you think you know the relevant magic pattern now?"
Angel: "I did not find the magic pattern that Portia asked about, but... I probably know where to find it."
"That's it." Midora and Antonio showed a look of realization, and they did not continue to ask. This obviously involved a secret.
Midora: "If she really uses Qili's affairs to exchange special magic patterns with you. My suggestion is, don't exchange."
Qili just tolerated the smell of the raw material warehouse for a while, but if Angel traded the special magic pattern to Portia, the result would be unpredictable.
It would be bad if Portia was like Ivo and went on the road of self-destruction.
In Midora's view, Portia's personal value is far greater than Qili.
However, Angel's request this time was mainly for "Qili". If he simply suggested Angel not to exchange, then why would Angel come to listen to their opinions.
Therefore, if Portia really uses the magic pattern as a condition of exchange, and they ask Angel not to exchange, then they must at least help Angel find a way to solve Qili's matter.
Midora pondered for a moment and said: "Portia has a very high status among the fragrance wizards, which means that she has a strong say in the fragrance circle. If you reject her, then you want to find another fragrance wizard.
It is basically impossible to solve Qili’s problem, and other fragrance wizards will not agree."
"However, the fragrance wizard agreed to Qili on the condition that she clean up the No. 1 raw material warehouse. As long as Qili can really do this, I believe the fragrance wizard will not continue to be in trouble."
"So, the best way, and the least offensive way, is to let Qili clean up the No. 1 raw material warehouse."
"You may feel that things have come back to the starting point... No, no, I mean, if you just ask Qili to clean up the No. 1 raw material warehouse step by step, it will indeed take a long time, but what if you don't follow the step by step?
?”
"Not step by step?" Angel thought for a few seconds, seemed to understand what Midora meant, and frowned: "Master wants me to hire someone to help?"
Midora shook her head: "No, it belongs to someone you can't find."
Not to mention, no one wants to take on the task of cleaning up the No. 1 raw material warehouse. Moreover, if Angel really rejects Portia, even if Portia doesn't care, if others find out, they will target Qili.
With Portia's status in the fragrance circle, she would definitely not be able to find anyone to help her.
"I mean, it can actually solve the problem fundamentally." Midora: "The reason why Qili has to stay in the No. 1 raw material library for a long time is mainly because her extraction speed of odor factors is too slow. If the extraction of odor factors can be accelerated,
Extraction can shorten her residence time."
"Accelerate the extraction of odor factors?" Angel frowned: "Can this also be accelerated?"
The odor factor is said to be "smell", but it can be understood as a kind of energy with a special structure, which must be stable. A slight abnormality may cause structural damage and extraction failure.
The method of extracting this odor factor is a technique accumulated by aroma wizards over countless years of experience. How can it be said that it is accelerated?
Midora seemed to understand Angel's concerns and explained: "It's not about speeding up the magic, but about using an alchemy tool."
Alchemy props? Can the smell factor be extracted with alchemy props?
Angel looked at Midora with some surprise. If it can really be extracted with alchemy tools, then this will definitely be explosive news for the fragrance wizard!
You know, the most troublesome thing for fragrance wizards is to extract odor factors, especially from excrement, so they usually ask their assistants or apprentices to do the extraction at a high price. But if you want to make the best fragrance,
They must endure the discomfort and select the best odor factors themselves.
If it can be extracted with alchemy tools, this will definitely drive the fragrance wizards who are troubled by the smell of the No. 1 raw material library crazy! Even if the extracted odor factor does not reach the highest quality, it does not matter. They have ways to improve the quality, even if it cannot reach the highest quality.
It's the best, and it's no problem to reach the highest quality.
Seeing Angel's surprised look, Midora explained: "It's not the universal alchemy tool you think of, but it was accidentally refined by a member of the R&D Institute..."
Of course he understands how shocking it is to use alchemy tools to extract scent factors.
If someone could really invent a universal alchemy tool for extracting odor factors, then any wizard who jumped into the fragrance pit would definitely have one.
But it is a pity that no one has refined this universal prop. Instead, an alchemist who went astray accidentally refined a similar instrument.
"Stirling Abnormal Structure Molecular Stabilizer." Midora: "This is the name of that alchemy tool. Its original function is to do microscopic research."
"However, because it can stabilize the gas structure, if it is used to extract gas factors, it can stabilize the structure of the gas factors for a long time. As long as the structure is stabilized, the extraction speed can be accelerated."
"Currently, there is only one. Moreover, there are uncontrollable factors involved during the refining process, so even if it is dismantled, it is difficult to explore and reproduce it."
Also because it cannot be universally used, aroma wizards will basically not consider this prop.
What's more, this prop itself is extremely valuable. Using it to extract gas factors is a bit like killing a chicken with a knife.
Of course, there is another most important reason. The owner of this equipment is... a bit difficult to deal with.
"Stirling... Abnormal structure molecular stabilizer." Angel muttered in a low voice, focusing on the name 'Stirling': "This Stirling is the Stirling in the punk theme park.
spirit?"
Midora nodded: "Yes, that's him."
Angel has not met Sterling, but he knows that Sterling lives in the punk theme park all year round. He is also a member of the R&D Institute, and his research direction is the mainstream mechanical alchemy in the Southern Region. However, Sterling
Ling takes a unique path in mechanical alchemy. His main focus is mechanical nerves.
Just the idea of using machinery to compensate for nerves is a bit inconsistent with the Southern Territory's cognition, but he really found a way.
Even his nickname is related to this: 'The Neurotic Wanderer'.
He was also specially recruited by Dean Muse because he was pioneering the path of mechanical nerves. He entered the R&D Institute with his background as a Sanren wizard.
The above is the general background of Stirling.
As for his character, Angel has heard rumors related to him from various aspects... He is a wizard who is obsessed with money.
As long as you can pay the price he requires, he can do anything for you, even selling his body to you, which is not impossible.
It can be said that he is the most talkative person in the R&D institute besides Gandolf, the 'Walker of Holy Light'.
The premise is that you can pay the price.
"If you can borrow this device from Stirling and give it to Qili, she can speed up the extraction of odor factors. It used to take one or two years to complete, but with the help of the device, it may be shortened to one or two months.
." Midora said.
Although upon closer inspection, it is a bit unfair to use such high-end equipment to do low-end manual work of extracting odor factors; if Portia had not been involved, Midora most likely would not have revealed this method.
But now that the two aspects are weighed, Midora still feels that it is more cost-effective to pay a small price to borrow this prop from Sterling.
Moreover, Midora could also guess that the reason why Angel paid attention to Qili must have something to do with Kanter. In his opinion, if the price really had to be paid, it was Kanter who had to pay it, and Angel only needed to pay the price.
Just send a message.
Therefore, this method may be the best of both worlds at present.
"If I borrow this equipment from Stirling, what will it cost?" Angel thought for a while and asked.
Midora: "The price offered by Stirling is always divided between people. I can't say exactly what is needed. However, I remember that Gusiro asked him to borrow this equipment, and the person who spoke in the middle was Antonio."
Midora looked at Antonio next to him, who nodded: "Yes, Mr. Gusiro did borrow this equipment. At that time, he borrowed this equipment for half a year. Stirling made two conditions and asked Gusiro to choose one of the two.
.”
"The first condition is that Gusiro pays him 20 points."
"The second condition is that Gu Xiluo needs to refine three different kinds of moon silver according to the spectra given by Stirling."
"And Gusiro chose the second condition."
Angel could understand Gusiro's choice without Antonio's explanation.
If converted, 20 points is equivalent to approximately 200,000 magic crystals.
200,000 magic crystals can only be rented for half a year, which is a huge loss.
Moreover, points can be exchanged for various rare materials that cannot be found in the R&D Institute's material library. Therefore, points have always been valuable but not marketable.
The first condition is eliminated directly.
As for the second condition, it was simply a condition tailor-made by Stirling for Gusiro.
Gusiro's nickname is "Moonlight Silver" because he is unparalleled in controlling the transformation of the alchemical material "Moonlight Silver".
Moon silver is the basic material for mechanical alchemy.
Gu Xiluo's ability to create flowers on moon silver can be said to have made a huge contribution to the mechanical alchemy that is so popular in the Southern Region today.
Because of this characteristic of Gusiro, he became a member of the R&D Institute.
Sterling's second condition, to put it bluntly, is to find Gusillo to customize three different styles of special moon silver.
This may take some time for Gusiro, but it will definitely not be too difficult.
Therefore, if given a choice between the two, Gusiro would definitely choose the second one.
Based on the price of Stirling to Gusiro, if Angel goes to find Stirling, the probability will be similar.
However, Qili's equipment will not last more than half a year. It is estimated that it can be completed in one to two months. Based on this calculation, it may only require about 10 points?
